non-oral parts such as the upper and lower respiratory tracts, the
gastrointestinal tract, and some diseases involving the kidneys or the
liver may also be the reason for it.
Common Causes of Halitosis
Poor dental hygiene
Tooth infections, Tooth decay, Tooth abscess etc.
Periodontitis.
Certain foods.
Alcohol.
Smoking.
Diabetes.
Hiatus hernia.
Certain lung diseases.

Psychogenic halitosis: Anxiety about halitosis, without actually having it, which is a psychological condition.
